After navigating high-profile relationships, professional burnout after 13 years at the National Theatre, and a departure from DAMU, the actor now works independently on selected stage projects and focuses on his physical health under the guidance of trainer Vít Chaloupka.
Lifestyle Changes and Health Transformation After Leaving National Theatre
Rajmont decided to leave behind a heavy smoking habit and chaotic nightlife, quitting cigarettes entirely in February 2022 after previously smoking dozens a day, as reported by Aktuálně.cz. Working alongside trainer Vít Chaloupka, the actor has achieved notable physical conditioning and weight loss. “Life beat me up enough, now I’d just like to be happy,” Rajmont said regarding his current outlook. This shift followed a 13-year permanent engagement at the National Theatre, where he ultimately faced exhaustion and a loss of personal motivation before transitioning to freelance projects.
Navigating High-Profile Relationships and Public Breakups
The actor’s personal life has frequently intersected with the Czech cultural scene. Rajmont previously entered into a registered partnership with director Vladimír Drha, and later publicly announced Drha’s death. Another long-term relationship was with Daniel Špinar, the former head of the National Theatre drama studio who has since undergone transition and performs as Daniela Špinar. Rajmont also spent seven years in a relationship with actor Ivan Lupták, whom he met while teaching at DAMU. According to Rajmont’s appearance on the talk show 7 pádů Honzy Dědka, his academic teaching position ended following his personal involvement with Lupták. The couple even shared an apartment with singer Tomáš Klus during that period.

Current Stage and Television Projects
On stage, Rajmont maintains several long-running engagements. He has spent 18 years performing in the comedy Lordi alongside Martin Hofmann and Peter Serge Butk, incorporating fresh improvisations into the production.
